Simon Callow narrates the story of the world’s most famous bear as he meets the Browns and kindly Mr Gruber in London. Then we follow Paddington all the way to the Royal Albert Hall for his first concert, which includes Rossini’s William Tell Overture (famously used as the ‘Lone Ranger’ music), Piazolla’s exciting Libertango, as well as Haydn’s jolly ‘Surprise’ and Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ symphonies.
